A big Brummy ‘thank you’
Our comeback event was the result of the joint efforts of a lot of people , so we’d like to extend our warmest, Brummy-est thanks to our volunteers who helped with pre-event organisation, set up the venue, the livestream and all who made sure it all ran smoothly on the night.
To our wonderful speakers – it was great to have you with us. To SoCrowd for sponsoring along with us and The Joint Works for having us. And mostly, to everyone who attended in-person or online, everyone who sent in a question or gave us lovely feedback – you really made our event fantastic.
And now, a word from our sponsors:
“We’ve been attending BrumPHP since the very first event, and it’s been a privilege to have the BrumPHP baton in our hands. We believe that community events are so important as it gives developers, tech enthusiasts and locals the opportunity to learn all about the world of PHP. There’s something to learn for everyone, whatever your ability” – Dan Newns, Jump24
“We’re delighted to have sponsored BrumPHP and support local developers in the Birmingham area. As a local business, we want Birmingham to be a place where PHP developers can thrive and we couldn’t think of a better way to do that than by getting involved with BrumPHP” – Liviu Bildar from SoCrowd.
